It sounded like Jerry said, "Listen to the whistle of the acid train," which changed my whole perspective on this classic tune. For me, Springfield Dead

recording history
Yes, there is some "hiss" in this recording, very little, but I am quite certain this copy did not have 2 cassettes before the DAT. The person who owns/owned
...
the cassette would never have transferred it to another cassette. More likely, the 1st cassette was made with Dolby B or C, and that was not engaged when the cassette was transferred to the 1st DAT. I have a DAT that the original cassette was transferred to, and it has the same characteristics.

Truckin'>Nobody's Fault>Feelin' Groovy
Not only is this not an Uncle John's Band jam, rather a Feelin' Groovy jam, it isn't the last one either. Regardless, this is an absolutely incredible
...
Truckin' sequence. The jam after drums is truly amazing. The sound is nearly perfect, with all the instruments nicely spaced and mixed. Jerry is surprisingly absent in this jam making it sort of a Weir and Phil show. I have to mention Billy's sick drumming in this one and Keith also adds a great deal to the mix. If you liked this jam than you will surely like this one: https://archive.org/details/gd73-02-24.sbd.elliot.11929.sbeok.shnf

The Grateful Dead visit Springfield!
This was my first Grateful Dead concert...,and on a whole I thought that they were quite impressive. Folk, blues, country, rock n'roll, jazz, and psychedelia
...
just poured from the stage! Also I thought that it was kinda neat they had tye-dyed speaker covers; but after all,this was the 70's!

good as something from "that week in September." An official release would be nice, but of course, there are some even less accessible shows from the period that should be ahead in line.

Springfield strikes again!!!
As per usual The Dead rock the Berkshires!!! They always seem to break new ground here...hence the track Tomorrow Is Forever. (very sweet harmony by Jerry

and Donna). Great recording...lots of tape hiss but great music...all instruments clear and present but needs remaster. 4 for sound Q only.

I walked into the wall of sound...
We strolled into the show from behind the stage at the Springfield (Mass,) Arena in '72 and I stood about 3 ft. in front of the mouth of one of those 4'
...
x 8' horns they had the front of the stage. I started to laugh so deeply I could feel my spirit and body dissociate; my friends literally had to pull me away- I was unable to move voluntarily. I realized the sound of Garcia's guitar was entering my senses through every pore in my body and diectly resonating my bones, cells. I had never experiencd anything like that, even considering the UFO abduction. Thanks, Grateful Dead, thanks.... Later that evening, when everyone was pretty jolly, they played a rocking medely and, at the opening chords of maybe 'China Cat Sunflower,' can't recall exactly, they blacked out all the lights in the hall and fired off these HUGE freakin blue spotlights in intense narrow beams on a big mirror ball no one had noticed hanging from the ceiling. The ball began to turn slowly at first, then accelerating. People literally fell to the floor as if pinned down by the dancing jewels of light, a total mass freakout, 10000 people (?) totally spellbound by the same insane vision for about 30 seconds! Religion? "There is nothing like a Dead show."
